Stephen Mossman vs Glen Williams in 89 post-classics this weekend

[sugilite:Me]

I've got everything crossed that I get my engine back in time for the last few rounds
BTW, my vote is for Glen, just watch that front end 'old' chap!

[slowpoke]

( Bear in mind also that Stephen Mossman is to my knowledge still on a stock rear shock, the FZR1000 shock of that period is none too clever )

So after spending up on the donk he's got a shit load of hp and shite suspension....to think I've got something nearly20years newer with the same problem sitting in the shed, D'OH!

Bruce Telford Aprilia V4 Factory 1000 vs Sloan Frost BMW S1000R

Are you for real ?

Sure we'd all like to see it, but both teams are in developement stages Gary !

I'd be pretty damn certain Neither wants the other to "smack talk" prior to saturday ! Pray for sun is all i say ! Or you might see nothing unless you chase the bears !

Yep, to be honest it is way better than just "good", engineered to an incredible standard that is quite amazing to be honest. Tech support on the other hand..............

[crazy man]

lts a shame no one in new zealand knows how to set suspension up right its taken over 15 year to go quicker than a 125hp ducati !

Looks like Mossy has finally got some competition, I'm sure it will improve his riding. Glen is going to be hard to beat. GW01 1:13.2.

Mossy put up a pretty good fight in the early stages and he has got his starts down pat. We made a compression stack change to the rear shock for the second race and went half a sec quicker and had less tyre wear, so the YSS Suspension got the thumbs up from me. Shame we didnt have time to fit a third race in - but it was a funny ole day weather-wise and crash-fest wise.

Just imagine how much better again you would have gone with a real shock in it Glen, one made in a real country like Sweden or Austria or the US.

anyone with half a brain can do a prity good job of setting up suspension realy for most people it is good enough there is only a hand full of people in nz that can ride to a limit witch warrant alot better suspension and if top riders from the wsb rode there bikes it would not be near good enough for them!

Good enough is never good enough, to say its good enough is resigned acceptance and that means you are going to get beaten.
A lot better suspension gives you the confidence to go faster, fact.
